T1s are good for when you are a ways from the CO (I think the cutoff for SDSL is 7000-10000 feet, but I could be wrong), or you want something the phone company actually knows how to install. (They've been doing T1s for a long time, DSL is relatively new). I mean, if you're far from a CO, you can get IDSL, but 144/144 sucks for the 100$/M you're paying.
You can get a full T1 (which is 1.5) or a fractional T1, which decreases in a pattern you can probably guess. (768, 384). The ISP I work for (it may be similar elsewhere, probably is) guarantees 80% throughput for SDSL, and 100% for T1. However, you have to perform below that for 60 days, and if you still suck after that, all you get is a disconnection without penalty.
Yeah...right after I got the dance pads, I danced for a half-hour, my boyfriend danced for a half-hour, and then the downstairs neighbors came up wondering WTF we were doing:{ He tried to explain, but yuppies don't seem to get it...
But I just moved to a house:-D So I can dance the night away:-D

Yeah. It happens. MSDN subscribers were the bane of working for MPA (product activation) because they cause the most problems, and expect us to fix them. We don't generate keys. We don't know how to, or get paid enough to troubleshoot. All we do is get read a string of numbers, and read one back. When we get an error, we read from a script. We don't even work for Microsoft.
*Uh, not true - as the "explanation" states this is mearly popular scientific theory and NOT a fact.
The word 'theory' is misused by the general population. In common use, it's used as a synonym for 'hypothesis' or 'good guess'. In a scientific context, 'A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena' is the definition.
These 'theories' are as close to 'fact' as it gets.

Interesting, I didn't know that...
Wow, and I thought this was fake...sure as hell, it's in there. I wonder why?!?

I registered s14shd0t.org a couple years ago, hoping to make:
News for H@x0r5, stuff that r0x0r5.
I let it expire. I don't know what I was smoking when I registered it, but I hope I come across some more of it.

A half-cent per web page? You've got to be kidding...mine are worth at least a penny! And that's pretty bad.
